Generally, a strobe power supply device has a DC-DC converter that converts the output of a low-voltage DC power supply to high-voltage DC. A conventional strobe power supply device will be explained with reference to FIG. When the switch 12 is closed, the transistor 20 becomes conductive, and current flows through the primary winding P and the feedback winding F of the transformer 18. As a result, a high voltage is applied to both ends of the secondary winding S of the transformer 18, and this voltage is charged to the main capacitor 24 via the rectifying diode 22. Both ends of this capacitor 24 are supplied to a flash discharge tube (not shown). Here, the maximum rated temperature of the PNP type transistor (germanium transistor) 20 is around 85°C, and that of the NPN type transistor (silicon transistor) is around 150°C, so the heat sink should be made larger for the same rating. It is not suitable for miniaturization. PNP transistors are also disadvantageous in terms of price. On the other hand, when a DC-DC converter is constructed using NPN transistors, the primary and secondary sides of the transformer cannot be separated due to the circuit configuration, so there is a drawback that the converter is susceptible to electric shock, which can be dangerous. Furthermore, if the transformer is made smaller without reducing the number of terminals, the spacing between each terminal becomes narrower. Here, since the secondary output terminal of the transformer reaches 1000 to 2000V, the withstand voltage between the output terminal and other terminals cannot be maintained. Also, the V BE of the NPN transistor is
0.6 to 0.8V, and the V BE of the PNP transistor is
Since the voltage is 0.1 to 0.3V, a DC-DC converter using an NPN transistor requires a relatively high voltage to oscillate, so there is a risk that it will not be able to operate when the power supply voltage drops.

Next, this operation will be explained. When switch 42 is closed, current flows from power supply 40 to the base of transistor 43 through resistor 44, making transistor 43 conductive. transistor 4
3, the transistor 48 also becomes conductive. Therefore, transistors 43 and 48
The amplified current flows to the primary winding P of the oscillation transformer 46. Here, since the low voltage end of the secondary winding S is connected to the base of the transistor 43, the current on the secondary side is positively fed back to the primary side. Therefore,
The collector currents of transistors 43 and 48 further increase, and transistors 43 and 48 become saturated. Then, in the oscillation transformer 46, the coupling from the primary winding P to the secondary winding S is eliminated, the base current of the transistor 43 decreases, and the collector current of the transistor 48 also decreases. Therefore, there is no feedback from the secondary winding S of the oscillation transformer 46 to the base of the transistor 43, and the transistor 48 becomes non-conductive. At this time, the back electromotive force induced in the primary winding P of the oscillation transformer 46 ensures that the transistor 43 becomes non-conductive via the secondary winding S, and the capacitance inside the oscillation transformer 46 and the substrate The capacitance when mounted on the circuit causes the current flowing through these circuit parts to oscillate. When the positive half-wave of the oscillating current biases transistor 43 in the positive direction, transistors 43 and 48 become conductive again. By repeating the above operations, the oscillation transformer 46 continues to oscillate.

In this embodiment, the NPN transistor 48 is used to control the current flowing through the primary winding P of the oscillation transformer 46, so it is suitable for miniaturization. Further, since the PNP type transistor 43 is connected to the transistor 48 in order to drive the transistor 48, the gain of the circuit is the product of the gains of each transistor. Therefore, even if the transformer 46 is not provided with a feedback winding, the amount of feedback from the secondary winding S can sufficiently saturate the transistor 48. That is, oscillation is possible even if the bias resistor 44 is extremely large. Since transistor 43 operates at 0.3-0.4V, this device can also operate at low voltages. Further, since a feedback winding is not required, the transformer 46 only needs to have four terminals, and a sufficient withstand voltage can be maintained when downsizing. Furthermore, since the high voltage terminal on the secondary side of the transformer 46 is separated from the power source 40 on the primary side, there is no risk of receiving an electric shock.
